Chapter 1335 : Death of the 9 Calamities

"Attack!"

The great battle was imminent, and all the immortals of the Abyssal Sea had long been prepared for this moment.

Watching the Sky Prison Battle Halberd streak forth like a thunderbolt, the master of the Azure River Ancient Sect immediately summoned the Azure River Ancient Sword to parry the blow.

Meanwhile, the immortals activated the 4 Symbols Immortal-Trapping Formation, the 3 Enclosures Immortal-Entombing Formation, and the Yin-Yang Immortal-Severing Formation to envelop the area. Working in concert with the master of the Ancient Azure River Sect, they finally managed to temporarily halt the advance of the Heaven's Prison Flame Lord.

Kill!

Seeing the Flaming Prison Lord being intercepted, the master of 1000 Dragon Lake slightly furrowed his brow.

In his original plan, he and the Blaze Prison Lord were to jointly besiege Eldrin (Person Name), intending to eliminate Eldrin (Person Name) swiftly. However, with the Blaze Prison Lord being intercepted the moment the battle began, his brow furrowed slightly in concern.

"Could it be that this battle will only end in a hard-fought, pyrrhic victory?"

But now was not the time for contemplation. The master of 1000 Dragon Lake glanced at the demon immortals who had already breached the Zhou Tian Star Formation and immediately commanded.

"Attack, leave none alive!"

As the words faded, the immortals and humans clashed in fierce battle.

The Earth Immortal combatants from both sides quickly found their respective opponents.

Eldrin faced the Lord of the 1000 Dragon Lake, while the Lord of the Heavenly Prison Inferno was held at bay by the formation and the master of the Ancient Azure Stream Sect.

Flame Torment Ancestor faced 2 opponents alone, engaging in a celestial duel against Sun Princess and Azure Princess high above the void. Meanwhile, the 2 Earth Immortals—the Frigid Frost Qilin and the 5-Clawed Golden Dragon—clashed in a life-or-death struggle against the 2 Grand Elders of the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect.

Of the 2 newly ascended Earth Immortals from the demon race, Daoist Tianfeng intercepted 1, while the other—severely wounded—was being relentlessly suppressed by Patriarch Diquan.

Meanwhile, Lyra (Person Name) also engaged in a fierce confrontation with Tian Yu Zi. The power unleashed by their clash—2 Ninth Tribulation Earth Immortals in combat—surpassed that of many mid-stage Earth Immortals.

At the very moment the great battle erupted between the 2 sides, Daoist Tianyuan and Old Ruins Yinjun finally made their move.

Just then, Daoist Tianyuan charged forth from the rear of the demon ranks. Before the demons could even react, he summoned a blindingly brilliant immortal sword that soared into the sky and descended with devastating force toward Tian Yu Zi.

That sword strike resembled a celestial abyss, carrying the primordial intent to cleave heaven and earth as it descended, as if seeking to split him in 2 with a single blow.

"Not good!"

At this moment, Tian Yu Zi was locked in a fierce battle against Lyra (Person Name), 2 Ninth Tribulation Immortals momentarily locked in an inextricable stalemate.

Most of his attention was focused on Lyra, so how could he have anticipated a sudden ambush from a 9-Calamity Immortal?

In haste, he summoned his protective immortal treasure to block, but was completely suppressed by Lyra (Person Name).

Indeed, this Tian Yu Zi truly lived up to being a 9 Tribulations Immortal. Even under Lyra (Person Name)'s full suppression, he still possessed some capacity to retaliate when ambushed by another 9 Tribulations Immortal.

But he forcibly retracted the Heaven-Slaying Demonic Blade, and at the critical moment, used this peerless demonic saber to block a strike from Daoist Tianyuan.

After blocking this strike, he turned his gaze toward Daoist Tianyuan, only to find a triumphant smile spreading across the man’s face.

'Oh no!'

In that instant, Tian Yu Zi sensed imminent danger, but alas, any reaction now would be far too late.

But then, a dazzlingly brilliant sword radiance shot toward him from not far away. Its terrifyingly sharp edge pierced through the very fabric of heaven and earth, completely ignoring his protective spiritual energy. With a sharp clang, it plunged straight into his chest.

"Ah—"

In the blink of an eye, Tian Yu Zi let out a miserable cry as he was sent flying backward, only managing to steady himself after soaring a great distance.

He clutched his chest, his face etched with disbelief as he gazed into the depths of the void. Only then did he see the figure of Old Ruins Yin Lord emerging from the emptiness, gripping an intangible longsword in his hand.

"Void Wanderer Ethereal Sword, Abyssal God-Entombing Sword."

"You 2 are the Abyssal Daoist and the Ancient Ruins Yin Lord." Prison of Heaven let out a bitter laugh, a trace of agony flashing across his face. In that very moment, he instantly recognized their identities.

In that fleeting clash of lightning and sparks, Lyra (Person Name) had engaged his attention head-on, while the Heaven-Abyss Daoist’s sword strike descended with overwhelming dominance—like a celestial abyss cleaving through the firmament—intent on obliterating him in a single blow.

Yet such a strike was not the true trump card—the real killing blow came from the Eldritch Abyss Monarch’s Void-Concealing Sword of the Unseen Depths.

This Voidless Sword was forged from Void Immortal Gold. Its power of Primordial Chaos and Void exists between form and formlessness, capable of severing all things between heaven and earth. It stands as 1 of the supreme killing treasures in all creation.

The Nether Sovereign of the Ancient Ruins struck last, ambushing Tian Yu Zi with this very blade. Not only did it pierce through his physical form, but its terrifying sword qi also tore through his Primordial Immortal Embryo.

At this moment, Tian Yu Zi could clearly feel an annihilating killing intent continuously erupting within his body, ruthlessly tearing apart his physical form and primordial spirit.

Even his primordial spirit was now pierced through by the Void Sword Qi. Had he not been a 9-Tribulation Immortal at his foundation, he would have likely been utterly annihilated by the sword energy at this very moment.

Suffering such grave injuries, Tian Yu Zi had lost all capacity to continue fighting. Should the battle persist, he feared he would no longer be able to suppress the sword qi principles raging within his body, risking immediate dissipation of his Dao and annihilation. With this realization, he transformed into a streak of light, fleeing toward the periphery of the Zhou Heaven Star Formation. Yet, Tian Yuan Daoist and Jiu Xu Yin Jun had long prepared for this moment—having chosen to strike, they had ensured every contingency was accounted for.

That day, Prison Child had not flown far before being ensnared by a golden heavenly net, letting out a piercing, agonized shriek.

It was only then that the crowd noticed a scorching golden celestial net barricading the breached entrance of the Zhou Tian Star Formation, sealing away all passage.

This golden celestial net was forged from immortal gold chains, its interior brimming with pure yang flames—clearly an exceedingly rare Heaven-Splitting Artifact.

The Sky Prison Clan, born of the world’s baleful energies, was most severely restrained by the Pure Yang Heavenly Net. Now trapped within its grasp, they let out agonized shrieks as they were scorched by its flames, utterly unable to break free for the moment.

The Heaven Abyss Daoist, Lyra (Person Name), and the Ancient Ruins Yin Lord seized the opportunity to strike. In barely the span of a single coordinated assault, they had already suppressed and slain the Heaven Prison Master.

After slaying Tian Yu Zi, Tian Yuan Daoist retrieved the Blazing Sun Net and gave a slight nod of approval.

This Solar Heavenly Net was a lower-grade Heaven-Opening Treasure. Though its power was not particularly overwhelming, it was supremely effective in restraining the Sky Prison Clan.

"Young Master!"

Witnessing Tianyu Zi's demise, the Heavenly Prison Flame Sovereign high above the firmament instantly revealed a visage of thunderous fury.

The battle just now was far too abrupt. From the moment Tian Yu Zi was ambushed to his demise, it happened in the blink of an eye. The 3 of them joined forces to strike, yet they barely expended any magical power.

The time was far too brief. Even for the Heavenly Prison Flame Lord, a late-stage Earth Immortal, it was insufficient to render aid in time!

"You all deserve to die!"

At that moment, Heaven's Prison Inferno Lord roared in fury. His Heaven's Prison Battle Halberd swept across heaven and earth as he summoned the 9 Heavens Inferno God Battle Armor and several other World-Creating Treasures to strike forth, intent on slaying the trio to avenge Heaven's Prison Son.

Unfortunately, the master of the Ancient Azure Stream Sect was not so easily dealt with.

At his command, the Yin Yang Immortal-Slaying Array nearly rivaled the combat power of a mid-level Earth Immortal, while the 4 Symbols Immortal-Trapping Array and the 3 Talents Immortal-Burying Array unleashed might comparable to 2 Earth Immortal Third-Level cultivators.

Moreover, with the Greenriver Ancient Sword in hand to counter his foe, he actually managed to temporarily prevent the Lord of Celestial Blaze from gaining an upper hand in a short time.
